As part of renovations, contractors are installing a new sprinkler head located in the basement of room 7D. July 12, 2018, from 6:00 am – 4:00 pm.

This will require the building sprinkler system to be temporarily drained. There will also be construction activities in the area of the replacement. This will require the fire sprinkler system to be offline during this time.

Provisions have been taken to monitor the building fire systems during this time and alarms that occur after the scheduled time should be considered real events and occupants should evacuate as usual per the U of O Emergency Procedures.

Today a sprinkler head leaked within the 3rd-floor project area while it was actively being worked on. It was immediately plugged by the fire sprinkler installer. The water from the leak did run down along the south east corner of the building. Water damage was limited to 6 partial ceiling tiles in Rooms 277, 278, 274 & 105C. The ceiling tiles affected will be removed and replaced. Custodial Services will be walking through and fans are will be placed in the affected rooms. I will be passing through again to ensure that any impacted areas are cleaned and repaired.
